Summary
editDescriptionUSS Ponce (AFSB(I)-15) in the Arabian Sea in September 2014.JPG |
English: The U.S. Navy afloat forward staging base (interim) USS Ponce (AFSB(I)-15) transits the Arabian Gulf. Ponce is equipped with the Laser Weapon System (LaWS), a technology demonstrator built by Naval Sea Systems Command from commercial fiber solid-state lasers. The system utilizes combination methods developed at the Naval Research Laboratory to successfully shoot down a target. LaWS can be directed onto targets from the radar track obtained from an MK 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System or other targeting source. This capability provides ships with a method to easily defeat small boat threats and aerial targets without using bullets. |
